Tesco is offering free breakfasts for members of the Armed Forces at two of its cafes in Cornwall this weekend.

This Sunday, June 30, all serving Armed Forces personnel, regulars, and reservists are eligible for the free hot breakfast.

This promotional act of gratitude is available at Redruth's Tesco café in Station Road and St Austell's Tesco café in Daniels Lane.

With a MOD90 identification card all cardholders can select from a full range of breakfast options: either The Breakfast, The Veggie Breakfast, The Vegan Breakfast, Sausage Bap, Veggie Bap or the Bacon Bap, without paying a penny.

2024 marks the third year of offering the free breakfast and veterans are part of this year's offer, provided they present a valid Veteran's ID card.

Tesco's group chief product officer and executive sponsor of the Armed Forces Network, Ashwin Prasad, expressed company’s continuous support for the Armed Forces.

He said: "As the largest private employer of Armed Forces veterans in the UK, we feel a close affinity with Armed Forces personnel.

"Everyone loves a free breakfast and it’s a nice way of thanking them for their service."

Rhys Little, chair of Tesco's Armed Forces Network, also commented on this year’s initiative.

He said: "We take great pride in our connection with the Armed Forces.

"We’ve received the Gold Award from the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme twice now – in 2016 and 2020 – and we were also the first retailer to sign the Armed Forces Covenant in 2014."
